Chapter 14

“Ji Nuannuan, Wei Yang liked you the most when you looked like you used to. Don’t you remember?”

“If you go see him with your current appearance, don’t you think he might not want to see you anymore?”

“Don’t tell me you’ve stopped liking Wei Yang and fallen for Fu Jinghan instead? Don’t be ridiculous, sister. I know you too well.”

“You’re such a sentimental person. Your first love was so beautiful, and now it’s been intercepted halfway by Fu Jinghan. Are you really willing to be blinded by his money?”

As Ji Nuannuan listened to Ji Xinxin whisper more and more excitedly in her ear, she instantly lost the interest to continue acting with her.

Ji Xinxin had indeed hit her soft spot. She was a nostalgic person.

Otherwise, in her previous life, she wouldn’t have been played by them so thoroughly. Even though she later developed feelings for Fu Jinghan, she always felt like she had betrayed Wei Yang and never truly followed her heart.

Thinking of this, Ji Nuannuan shoved Ji Xinxin hard. Ji Xinxin, wearing high heels over ten centimeters tall, stumbled and fell face-first to the ground like a dog eating dirt.

She was in so much pain that she couldn’t get up for a moment, tears welling in her eyes. “Ji Nuannuan, are you crazy?!”

Ji Nuannuan held back her laughter and blinked at her. “Let everyone see—who’s really crazy here?”

Their voices weren’t quiet, and with Ji Xinxin lying there in revealing clothes, a crowd quickly gathered.

“What’s going on?”

“No idea. Maybe just a fight between sisters?”

“Doesn’t look like that to me!”

“Could it be a cheating scandal?”

Whispers and murmurs reached Ji Xinxin’s ears, and she felt utterly humiliated.

And yet, the person who caused her disgrace—Ji Nuannuan—still stood there pretending to be innocent.

Staggering to her feet, Ji Xinxin tried to explain to the onlookers, “Please don’t blame my sister. She didn’t mean it.”

Oh, how clever.

That one line redirected all blame toward Ji Nuannuan while painting herself as the victim.

“I did mean it,” Ji Nuannuan’s voice rang out. “You, egging your own sister on to cheat in public—don’t you deserve to be hit?”

“A younger sister scheming to climb into her brother-in-law’s bed—don’t you deserve it?”

Her string of accusations instantly helped the crowd piece things together.

So, she was the kind of woman trying to seduce her own sister’s husband? A homewrecker!

Most of the women shopping here were well-off housewives.

And the one thing such women hated the most—were mistresses. Most of them had even personally dealt with a mistress or two.

Even if a few mistresses were lurking among the crowd, none would dare speak up now.

At that moment, voices of righteous indignation erupted from the crowd.

“She’s shameless!”

“Yeah! Playing innocent after all that!”

“Ugh, disgusting. All mistresses are disgusting!”

“Was your mom’s sole purpose in life to raise you to destroy other people’s families?!”

“Your mom must’ve been a mistress too—like mother, like daughter!”

The angry accusations hit Ji Xinxin like a sledgehammer. She collapsed back to the ground, her face turning pale and green.

Looking at the completely different Ji Nuannuan in front of her, she was stunned speechless. Clearly, this time, Ji Nuannuan had seized the upper hand, exposing her publicly and leaving no room for defense.

Now, no one would believe anything she said.

All she could do was cry helplessly. “Sister, I know you don’t like me, but you can’t smear me like this. If Dad and Mom hear about this, I won’t be able to protect you!”

But only Ji Nuannuan could see the hatred in her eyes.

That threat—“Dad and Mom won’t let this slide”—was a warning.

“You think our parents won’t be biased? You’re the one who tried to ruin my relationship!” Ji Nuannuan replied with feigned innocence.

She stepped closer to Ji Xinxin, pretending to help her up as she coldly whispered, “Go home and ask your darling parents—do they even dare touch me?”

“You want the Ji family to go bankrupt? Just say the word.”

“Fu Jinghan’s been disgusted with your family for a long time.”

That wasn’t a bluff. In her previous life, if she hadn’t begged Fu Jinghan to help the Ji family, they would’ve gone bankrupt a hundred times over.

Now Ji Xinxin was sure—Ji Nuannuan had really changed.

Before, she’d always listened to her. Even when there were conflicts, bringing up their parents would make Ji Nuannuan back off for the sake of family ties. But now…

Ji Xinxin stared at her, full of hatred. But she couldn’t do anything. Ji Nuannuan had Fu Jinghan on her side—there was no way she could win this fight head-on.

“I’m sorry, sister. It’s all my fault,” Ji Xinxin finally choked out, head bowed low.

Fu Group Headquarters.

During a meeting, Fu Jinghan felt uneasy just thinking about Ji Nuannuan going out with Ji Xinxin.

Then his phone buzzed with a video from her.

In the video, the crowd had already dispersed. Ji Xinxin was sitting on the floor alone, looking pitiful.

Just as Fu Jinghan frowned, another message from Ji Nuannuan popped up:

“This is my declaration of loyalty. I told you—I’ll never trust that woman again.”

Fu Jinghan looked at his phone and couldn’t help but chuckle.

The executive presenting the proposal was instantly terrified.

In a trembling voice, he asked, “President Fu… is there something wrong with the proposal?”

This was the fifth revision. He was running out of brain cells. And Fu Jinghan still… laughed? What now?!

“No changes needed,” Fu Jinghan replied flatly.

The executive, who had his head down and eyes shut like he was awaiting execution, froze.

No changes?

Did that mean Fu Jinghan thought he was too dumb to bother with?

Breaking into a cold sweat, the man suddenly dropped to his knees.

“President Fu, I have elderly parents and young children! Please don’t fire me!”
